eFooty tipping 2015 season - round 3
Ilene Dover
In spite of the upheavals this week, it is comforting to know that some things never change. Welcome to round 3 of the AFL season, and the third week of eFooty tipping. Those that played last week can skip ahead and put their tip in. For newcomers, read on!
How does it work? Endorse this article for $10 to buy in for the round. Post your tipped winner and margin in the comments. Correct tip and closest margin will take all, plus $10 for mine (since I can't endorse my own article). Obviously, no double ups on margins and tips. First come - first served. If you happen to hit the wrong button "by accident", and you go over the extra will wind up in the kitty. If you go under, well...I know a guy who knows a guy...
🙂
Tips will be taken until bounce down of the relevant game. Which is, for round 3, a Melbourne love-in:
Collingwood v St Kilda at the MCG
Good luck!!!
To those that don't understand the game? Have a guess, like me! Aussie Rules (or AFL) is one of those sports that reward you for missing the goals. Each goal is worth 6 points, with each near-miss (or strike of the goal posts, or a few other combinations) worth 1 point. The final score will look like this: 7.7 (49), meaing 7 goals (42 points) and 7 "misses" (1 point) for a total of 49 points. Incidentally, 7.7 is the only score that works out as a product - we had to prove that in 8th grade algebra.

I really have no idea this week, even compared to normal! 😒
Collingwood, by 3 goals!
So, by 18 points?
Also I think a miss is just a miss, and a 'behind' is 1 point. 🙂
Yes. But you missed the goals, but still score. No other sport does that
Actually Gaelic Rules football does that too. 😛
I have just watched one match of this sport so I can't bet for any team cause I'll lose my money 🙂
I haven't won a round yet... 🙂
And the last game I watched from start to finish was the second Eagles v Sydney grand final. Somewhere around 2006 I think.
C'mon and join us! Only $10...what's that, 1.5 weapons? 🙂
I want to bet for both of teams are going to enjoy the match, could I? 😃
Yes, but only the first bet will count. 🙂
St. Kilda by 30 points
Ill put the titans to win in the NRL this week.
And im going to keep posting NRL comments in here until the season ends.
Don't do that... I'm nearly out of witty replies!
You better hope another scandal comes up so theres more jokes to be made!
Damn, why couldn't I come up with that. Well played sir!
Collingwood by 10 points
St.Kilda, winning by 27.
Saints by 33. EAT THE PIES!
Even if they win, Collingwood will still 'win'.
Eddie is everywhere...
Sad fact that...
Damn you two Master and JT, hemming in my call 😞 LOL
Actually I was gonna tip by 31; saw yours and added 2 points to the spread for ya. Huh! 😛
>😃 I literally thought 'they're going to be up by 4 goals, and 3 behinds'
I read this twice, and still not sure if I got it. Collingwood by 28.
I need to call my sister who lives in Sydney to explain all this to me later...
Have a go ya mug! 🙂
Footy tipping is a real thing here. Normally you compete over a 22 round season with an answer for each of the 9 games per round. Too much work for me, so we playing eFooty Tipping Lite. 🙂
Sorry for late posting of the match results, been an epic busy weekend so far. Another whitewash:
Collingwood 21.13 (140) def St Kilda 10.6 (66).
Collingwood wins by 74, ouch! That gives Darkskye the win, congratulations. 🙂 $60 headed your way in a moment.
Wow imagine that! I didn't even know what I was doing lol. Thanks!
